Renovating and Decorating to Sell your
Home

Having trouble selling your home or
unit? Market trends fluctuate making it more difficult to both sell
and find a home for protracted periods of time. While you may have
bought your home at a time when the real estate market was booming,
selling during tough times or even selling after your home has
become worn and tired for too much loving can be difficult. The
carpet that was new when you bought it may now be covered in stains
and what was the brand new oven is now wallowing in its own juices.
To make a house ready for sale can be difficult and expensive.
Those looking to sell are also advised by real estate agents to
make their home into a show house in order to secure the most money
for your home. When you can't afford the new home you want unless
you sell for more than your home has been valued at, adding the
look of a new renovation to an older or well loved house may just
tipped the scales in your favour when it comes to sales
time.

After you have rearranged your furniture, pack away all the clutter
into a storage unit, cleaned and polished every remaining surface
and ensured babysitters or pet minders are on the case, you will
have to look into decorating the newly tidied home to show off the
true value and potential of your home. The best table cloths may be
brought out and definitely the best bed sheets. You may even by the
set you want in the new home early just to make sure that your old
home looks its very best. The walls around your home need to be
touched up to make sure all the scratch marks from furniture or the
scribble made by the toddler is covered up. While working on your
walls, it is worth looking into either giving your current pictures
some much needed dusting and shining or upgrading from the wall
hangings you have to something more impressive and yet homely. Now
is the time to make sure that the blank slate that the real estate
agent is asking for is actually a warm and inviting blank
slate.

Neatly arranged paintings and photographs, particularly if they are
collections, draw the potential buyer into a house as much as the
aroma of cooking biscuits or complimentary cups of tea, and in fact
more so. The artworks hung on your walls will give viewers ideas on
what the home is capable of looking like the space available and
even suggest how suitable a home is for a particular sort of buyer.
Having baby picture showing suggests that your family was
comfortable enough in the home to start a family there. Wedding
pictures suggest the home is a good first home for a newly married
couple or a couple just looking to set up a new life together.
Stylised and abstract artwork lends the home an extra touch of
modern design, which would appeal to the buyer looking for that
polished and stark interior design look. A house cannot be sold to
just anyone. The trick is to market your home to the type of buyer
likely to find it the most applicable to their needs. Once you have
decided who is likely to buy your home, choose the type of
paintings you would like in your new home that match the style of
paintings you need to impress the potential buyers. As your taste
in homes is unlikely to dramatically change this is not a difficult
task. You can even look into buying all the artworks you want for
your new home and choose to display only some in the home now for
sale. Making the artwork in your home as impressive and positively
emotive as possible will help greatly in selling your home and even
getting better offers for your home.
